University of Maine System trustees are meeting to talk about a proposal for increasing recruitment of international students as enrollment continues to decline.

A fall enrollment report says the total head count at the seven campuses dropped 2.1 percent from 2012, with a 4.7 percent decline in graduate students and a 1.7 percent drop in undergraduate students.

All told, enrollment is down 9.4 percent since 2009.

Trustees who began a two-day meeting Sunday at the University of Maine at Farmington will discuss and vote Monday on a resolution supporting a program aimed at boosting enrollment of international students.
